Finally, Sony’s PlayStation 3 motion controller has an official name: PlayStation Move.

Shuhei Yoshida, Sony's senior vice president of product development, made the official announcement today during Sony's Game Developers Conference press conference in San Francisco.

Since Sony first unveiled the motion controller and camera combo at E3 2009, the company has kept the project relatively close to the vest, only showing it off on a handful of occasions at industry events, and remaining absolutely silent on what the final product would end up being named.

During Tokyo Game Show 2009, the name rumor train started rolling when quotes emerged in which developers referred to the motion controller as "Sphere." Then "Gem" started making the rounds after EA CEO John Riccitiello referred to it as such during a meeting with industry analysts. Sony quickly shot down "Gem," explaining that it was an "early codename" for the device. However, the name popped up again a few weeks back at DICE 2010 when Disney Interactive media group president Stephen Wadsworth used "Gem" during his keynote presentation while discussing the upcoming motion control technologies from Microsoft and Sony.

I'm guesing Microsoft was not too thrilled with the ARC name since They had a wireless Laser mouse for the PC named ARC.

MS would be a little ticked at that but I guess this new name is better then nothing.
